Question 3367 Deck General

The correct answer is C) run and retrieve anchors. A permanent chain chasing system is used to run and retrieve anchors, as it is designed to guide the anchor chain in and out of the vessel as the anchor is deployed or recovered. This system helps ensure the anchor chain is properly managed and does not become tangled or difficult to handle during the anchor deployment and retrieval process. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the primary purpose of a permanent chain chasing system. Choices A and D are related to anchor chain maintenance and inspection, but do not involve the actual deployment and retrieval of the anchor. Choice B, cleaning the anchor chain, is not the main function of a permanent chain chasing system.
